How often are institutions required to publish their Annual Security Report (ASR)?

Institutions are required to publish their Annual Security Report (ASR) on an annual basis. This requirement is part of the Clery Act, which mandates that colleges and universities disclose certain information about campus crime statistics and safety policies. By publishing the report annually, institutions provide current data that helps to inform students, parents, and employees about the safety of the campus environment. This information is crucial for promoting transparency and accountability regarding campus safety measures and for enabling the campus community to make informed decisions regarding their safety.

The annual requirement ensures that the information is up-to-date and reflects any changes or improvements in campus safety measures, reflecting the institution's ongoing commitment to maintaining a secure environment.
